Topic: DdmrDdmr is surprising for meriting posts (Read 566 times)

I guess this is a new thread concerning the Legend DdmrDdmr.
Words alone can't explain how he does what he does, sometimes I just ask myself if he does things like a human, like is he human? I just think this guy is a puzzle without a clue.
The secret behind all he does in this Forum can never be unfold, is just outstanding, he needs a medal, @theymos just organize one for him, and we need a DdmrDdmr day to be celebrating in this forum 😅.
We all should be glad to have someone as DdmrDdmr
amongst us.

you should not doubt His Expertise in giving merits, just be Thankful because He Recognize your post as a merit-worth post.  Unlike Others (Not all) who has a lot of smerits just being hoard or they just don't know the Technique of "DdmrDdmr". (Godspeed) Lol.

Had it been that DdmrDdmr is sending more than a single merit to other accounts, I believe many of the forum members won't have received his generosity of merit distribution.

If am to say, thousands of btt accounts have one way or the other received merits from DdmrDdmr. Which keeps making him the most generous merits sender in the forum. You can check the statistic of the most recent merit sender conducted in the last 30 days for the top merit senders here

What you are referring to can be said if it gives merit when it knows that the member deserves to receive merit, which means that it saw good sense in the member's post. That means you are one of them.

    When I looked at his posts, most of them also give him merit by the majority of members here in the forum, so he doesn't hesitate to give it to others who also deserve it. I also can't say if he is using a bot, because it seems that what he does is really organic. The important thing is that he knows how to appreciate the posts of the majority of members here on this forum platform.

Yeah, I love this suggestions maybe extending his hands to the local boards would also be helpful as well. Although I can't really say if he is not going through those local boards, who knows if he does or not. But lets see I believe he sprays his merits according how the spirit leads him.

I was about responding to ¹ then saw your second statement. The funny part is that majority of the users of the forum (most especially the newbies) fail to read through the forum before asking questions and at some point some of us were once guilty of this too. Newbies are quick to ask questions because of the excitement the get seeing such behavior on the forum and another instance is because of the quest to get some attention to their account and probably get awarded merits. Some events on the forum are not worth giving attention because we all are seeing it and they're not harmful. Whenever you see something happen on the forum just search with keys words and you'll find the answers to your question.

With the amount of feedback I'm seeing on this thread, I don't think the OP will ever think of opening a threads like this again, he has to learn from this and improve on himself. DdmrDdmr if you see this (either from directly visiting this thread or through the notification bot), keep up the good works, what you're doing is been appreciated and if you think about doing this again in the future consider visiting the local boards (that's if you're not already doing that) especially those boards with low amount of merit circulating and get some quality contributions over there awarded some merits.

I believe only DdmrDdmr can explain how faster he shares his merits. Sometimes it baffles me as well because the rate at which he shares his merits always makes me happy. Although the spray almost goes across all board, actually is been awhile i received some bullets from him. Sometimes it's better you used the search option to before you create your post because I believe there have been series of post concerning his merits spray.

They make some assumptions out of thin air and if we just check out his post history it could easily be reflected that bots don't write up that knowledgeable and in depth posts on the forum.For all we know he runs script to hand out merits and also having forum merit dashboard for users so yes you are right they need to have some serious discussion about it.

I think you haven't notice the thread from @fillippone which discuss the same thing in fun manner and yes he sends them fast as mentioned above 1221 profiles merited in 21 minutes which makes each smerit from his end very fast but using script but he also merit most of the previous merited posts from his side and number generally goes between 1-2.

He is a programmer and he is able to code merit bot to distribute merit and save his time. He coded DdmrDdmr Merit dashboard and some more stuffs for Bitcointalk community.

His merit distributing intensity can not break the minimum time between two activities that is limited by the forum like scrapers have to obey forum limits too. Some related topics and one is what you raised above.

• [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human?
• 1221 posts merited (by me) in just under

I think I have seen a post about people asking whether he is even a human? He is such a smart merit donor which had made him a merit rascal, meriting multiple accounts without the stress of how stressful it could be going for one account to the other to merit different accounts. I once check his profile and his meriting pattern and I noticed that he is such a smart and generous merit donor doing what he like doing over and over again without being stress out.

I think the question should be "Is DdmrDdmr even a human? because I once saw a post like that and seeing different opinions of how fast and diligence he is meriting over 100 profiles without getting tires. I think he is a genius without limit.

I didn't read through that other thread, but I saw the amount of merits he was handing out and the time frame in which he was doing it, and I just quickly assumed that he was doing it via a script.  I've handed out tons of merits in a short period of time whilst doing post history reviews, but I think it'd be pretty obvious to anyone looking at my merit-giving history that that was exactly what I was doing. 

On the other hand, looking at DmdrDmdr's meriting history would present a puzzle to me if I didn't think he was doing it automatically--unless he was some super-human meriting machine with a brain like a high-end GPU.

But hey, that's how he stays on top of the list of merit-givers.  As long as nobody has any beefs about who he's meriting and for which posts, I say keep on keeping on, you know?

Just looking at his meriting style, which he/she gives majorly 1 merit which makes it looks long, and after giving such number of merits, I also observed that the number of merits he will give out the next 2-5 days is small before issuing another huge number of merit again.
So from my own observation base on the method he uses in meriting these posts, it is something he/she dedicates his time to do and it takes only someone who is determined can do these without a bot. But it will be nice to hear from DdmrDdmr someday to know how he/she does issues these merits.

We all don't know exactly what DdmrDdmr's standards of quality were before he sent merit and I think only he knows what those standards are. But it seems that DdmrDdmr tends to give me 2 merits on statistical posts and tends to give me 1 merit on general non-statistical posts. It may differ from one user to another, but you can compare between these two posts.

1. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62277340
2. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--5417689

Apart from all this, each merit source has its own way and its own standards for send merit from one post to another. I can only say that DdmrDdmr, LFC_Bitcoin, filippone, JayJuanGee, LoyceV and other merit sources have their way, but I don't want to argue about how they spend their sMerit to different users.

Maybe you're still fresh to the forum to just have discovered this about Ddmrddmr after some threads already had been created about him and discussed, this is nothing but a challenge for us to also get encouraged to put in professionalism in everything we do and deliver our best, there are other unique members of the forum that have more qualities to learn and trust about, this is a large community endowed with different people of substance and one of them is who you just discovered in person of Ddmrddmr, you can as well build yourself too if you can pay the sacrifice it demands in learning.

Huge difference between posting using a bot and meriting somebody using a bot.
And I have to say this, packing it as politely as I can, but if you ever thought for a second DdmrDdmr is using a bot to make his posts you really need to stop kidding around. Seriously!


Users that make posts worth more than one merit will make more of them, each will get 1 merit and in the end, they will still end with more merit than a guy who only has one post in his entire history merit worthy.
I don't know why after all these years with the merit system we still have discussions focused on how people are spending merits, Theymos was as clear as possible on this issue, and if you have even then a problem with it, apply to be a merit source, earn more merit and restore the balance you think is broken by his merit spending habits.

I don't get it, every single topic we talk about is how privacy is important but one single thing and we try to find everything about a person and why he does this and that and who he is and what he does when he isn't doing this.
His account, his merits, his decision! /end

I don't think any of us should judge what he does and why he does. DdmrDdmr is a member who proved his value in the community. It could be just a fun for him to distribute merits to forum users. We all are different, see things differently but one thing is common to all of us which is we are here for Bitcoin, we love bitcoin.

You're right, the user makes use of a bot to merit posts he likes. However, what's not clear (even to me) is why he merits all posts the same amount. Does it mean all the posts DdmrDdmr comes across and wants to merit are of the same quality as the user only splashes just a single merit on them. I think it's not a good way to merit posts. They should set different meriting threshold for posts. There are posts that deserve more than a single merit. That's what I'm saying.

Yet many people don't even read it LOL


Do your regular things as you do always. When you see a post merit worthy, you save the link to a txt file. Keep doing it for many weeks until the day you decide to merit all. By then you will have a long list of links on the txt file.

The day you want to run the bot, copy and paste all the links from the txt file and run the script. Why it's so complected to understand 😉

How does this your response sound to you, you're out of point in this suggestions, I'm not saying about the comments of DdmrDdmr but only for the merit, it can use bot for merit but responding to thread is manual, read and understand before you post

I can say that it's only DdmrDdmr that will give it's statistics of how it issues merit within that space of time, the thing is that we can't tell if it uses bot or manual to merit people, i have seen some explanation of people, i think we are still exaggerating concerning this with different explanation, according to BitcoinGirl.Club explanation that's should be another method to give numbers of people merit but it will not be same as DdmrDdmr, most important the timing.

This is not rocket science to understand that he used Bot to send merits. It's impossible for a human being to open thousands of posts and keep meriting them until his sMerits turn zero. Indeed, he never said in his thread that he uses a bot. I didBott check fillippone's thread to see if he responded there regarding using a bot. But, as he always uses some criteria to filter eligible posts, he must use his own made Bot or other secret services that he owns. You and I won't have access to those things because it's not for everyone. This particular thing is exclusively for himself, making him more exclusive.

Look at the quoted part below


He used this criterion to detect quality posts. If five different people merit a post, this post must be worth meriting. So he uses this method to find quality posts. He also uses other criteria like re-merit his last merited posts. Sometimes he Manually merits users' posts and then re-merits those posts with his bot. That means he knows the quality of the post he is meriting.

True, but he use bot, that should be complicated than manual, because he must know the quality post

Yeah, I would agree with this  DdmrDdmr is some kind of Artificial intelligence with the brain of a quantum computer but still has the heart of a human  . Nice Pic btw

Man, the answer is quoted by YOSHIE on how DdmrDdmr merited many posts.

All I can think of how DdmrDdmr did it is by using bot (if it existed) or opening a lot of new tabs in the browser and send merits. One thing I am sure is he merited those he merited before as I received merit in one of my post before where I received merit again with the same post (as stated on the thread). Well, he did explained it his thread about how he did it but I am wondering how he really did it and you can already guess the question if is he really a human or as the thread title says.

Of course it's none of your business, me and the others, but we can still guess if he did it like someone with a robotic arm. Many users wonder about that even I'm not sure how he does it all the time other than opening tens of tabs before spray merit.

There's been some speculation and discussion about the DdmrDdmr merit spray in these two threads, so I don't think the OP should worry too much about it.

1. 1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes–What’s got over me? (v 36.0) - DdmrDdmr
2. [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? - fillippone

At least you release the OP from the high tension state of wondering about DdmrDdmr method of dropping merits at once. I also wonder sometimes the way he send merits to different accounts but I was bother to know because it was not my concern.

Collect the posts you want to merit.
Write a script to merit to the posts and define how many merits to send in specific posts. Same to all or random given numbers in an array for each posts?
Run the script.

May be few things need to keep in mind like time delay and things to avoid IP banning.

A good example is few weeks ago TryNinja created a script to update images from imgur to talkimg/imgbb.

Quote from his reply on march 6, 2019


If you check @DdmrDdmr profile carefully, his a normal guy who is just too good at his job as a merit source. I don't think he uses any bot or something. Yes he might have a good operating system with fast and swift response to help him move around the forum very quickly. And then he also said that during this period of meritting, he locks him self away from the outside world so as to focus more. I really appreciate his good works and contributions to the community. We need more person like him here on Bitcointalk.

Yet you would get the clue here. Nobody knows what you are asking. This also made fillippone to create thread on him. So you can also go there to have some information. The way he (DdmrDdmr) responses to post as comments and post does not look a robot as for your thinking. He responses according to the thread but if it was a robot it would have done some out of point comments which doesn't look the same way with the original thread or comment. But he makes comments accurately.

Thanks for the good update.
I would be very surprised anyway if he hadn’t improved the workflow since then.

And I don't know if non human entities also use the same terms?  He just smash his screen when sending merits and his speed is totally unmatched in these matters.

He supplies flash serum to superheroes to make them faster  but jokes aside really appreciate him to send merits to different users at such a pace.

@DdmrDdmr, has talked and told a lot in his own thread, entitled: 1221 posts merited (by me) in just under 21 minutes–What's got over me? (v 36.0).

Explanation @DdmrDdmr.



@DdmrDdmr, human is just like you OP, only he uses some special futur taps to waste S-merit.

I don't know if ddmrddmr sending merits this way is considered manually or automatically.


This is the reason why nobody has certainty about the method

This is DdmrDdmr topic that has detailed records of his/her merit spree and @fillipone created a topic [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? where he jokingly enquire about the bot-like nature of @DdmrDdmr. So your question(s) has/have been answered in fillippone's topic and there's no need for this topic.

I understand the curiosity behind DdmrDdmr massive merit distribution but is knowing it really worth-it given that you don’t have that amount of smerit that you can send just to use the info that you are seeking.

It’s obvious that is doing some kind of script to merit all the post that he bookmark in the past. He is known for creating Merit dashboard so it’s not surprising that he is genius on ways to distribute merit.

You could share the knowledge you get by making a thread after, referencing what DdmrDdmr said to you via PM then, simple as that. Well, anyway, let's wait until he share his way to do things.

Did you check this thread [FUN] Is DdmrDdmr even human? before creating your own thread?

If you check that thread above you'll notice that issue like this ave been discussed and from the last time I checked (it has been a long time though) no one has still being able to figure out if he/she uses a bot or just do it manually, but with the time frame DdmrDdmr does the meriting I doubt that it's manual and besides he has a lot of stats about merit so it should be an easy peazy job for him.

Many of us doesn't know the clue behind this, I don't know if any other person has being thinking same thing, sending him a personal message will only educate me alone but making it to be open will benefit so many others, I think the reason this forum is created is to share knowledge across each other.

This concern/question is more like for DdmrDdmr, i guess messaging him for give you the answer you are looking for instead of us speculating the matter, just my two cents.

I have being trying to ask this but it do give me a tough time. Is DdmrDdmr using which programs to merits numbers of people at same time, I received a merit from DdmrDdmr early today and I checked it's profile and I see almost hundreds posts merited by DdmrDdmr same time but with different minutes that's not above one minutes, does DdmrDdmr use bolt?? This is surprising, I have not seen someone who merit numbers of posts same time before, does it copy all the posts link that he wants to merit and past before meriting them? or it highlights all the user's he wants to merit, to be sincere this is confusing to understand how he does it, if you have knowledge of sharing a bunch merit at a time please explain.
